Magpiong and Cassell first talked earlier this summer, when the cyclist was early in his 61-day journey to raise money for ALS research. In this episode, the pair talk about the full trip, which started when Glen dipped his bike’s wheels into Boston Harbor and ended at Santa Monica Pier in California.

Magpiong tells Cassell about the highs and the lows of the trip, including getting hit by a truck while on the side of a highway. He comes close to tears as he talks about the logistical support he received at that point, as well as why he got back on his bike. Magpiong also talks about all of the people he met on the long ride and the people who helped make the trip a success.
